Hail in Flagler Jun 26, 2026

Hit 38 days ago

Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 27 hail signatures up to 2.5", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.25" aloft. At 2.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

Two ways to read the storm

How Flagler saw the hail — from two instruments

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar signatures
NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Flagler, CO on Jun 26, 2026

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

Where Jun 26, 2026 sits in Flagler's hail record

This was Flagler's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Flagler at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Flagler: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 51 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Seibert (9 miles southeast, up to 2.5"); Vona (19 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Anton (19 miles northeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Flagler's Jun 26, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Flagler for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 2.5" hail means for Flagler roofs

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$600K

Potential roof exposure — 50 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Flagler

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
